OUR seven parishes in the Evenlode Vale of the North Cotswolds seek to be:

Welcoming churches

where people matter, because they matter to God and where anyone can belong whether they're sceptics, enquirers or believers.

Village churches

where we can demonstrate God’s love for the communities in which we are set by meeting practical needs and by serving those communities as best we can.

Bible believing churches

where God speaks to us as we open up the Bible, and find in its pages power, purpose and God himself.

Anglican churches

where we stand in the tradition of the Anglican reformers of the 16th Century affirming with them that salvation is by Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone, by grace alone, through faith alone, to the glory of God alone.

Growing churches

where God’s transforming grace is taught, enquirers are able to explore faith and believers are equipped to serve.

United churches

where our unity is expressed as our seven parishes meet together for worship at our hub church, Holy Ascension Oddington, on the first Sunday of the month and where our teaching courses, family and youth work are also based. We also express a unity that goes beyond parish boundaries as we join with the churches of the North Cotswolds Gospel Partnership in organising regular prayer meetings and mission.
